Yield Points and Plastic Deformation of Mild Steel Cylinders under Internal Pressure

Abstract

The results of studies made so far on the yield point of mild steel are applied to the yielding of cylinders under internal pressure. With thick cylinders, the yielding begins from the internal layer, and spreads gradually to outer layers as pressure increases. With cylinders, in which the ratio of external and internal diameter is less than 1^.55, the yielding occurs through the wall under a constant internal pressure.
